The walking dead the game is based on roberts kirkmen comic book series . Robert kirkmen provided oversight that games story is according to the comic but allowed telltale to handle the bulk of developmental work and story specifics,the game take place in the same fictional world as the comic .
So the game is based on the comic like the wolf among us

Yes, a lot of people already knew this. Telltale said so themselves quite frequently during the creation of Season 1.
So its canon with the comic they complete 6 issues and said it the walking dead season 1
You seem to be been having some confusion with this in the past. I'll try to clear it up. Yes, season 1 is based on the comics. However, what happens in the comics, does not happen in the game. Lee's group however, was canon in S1. So it is assumed that they are a group in the comics. The characters of Glenn, Hershel and Lilly, are the only relatable factors that this game takes in with the actual comics.
I thought Lilly was a different Lilly in the books than in the game.
You may not believe it but on this world there are people who have the same name as you. Fascinating, isn't it?
Oh boy. Okay. The game Lilly was supposed to be comic Lilly, as Telltale had originally planned. The earlier episodes of Playing Dead confirm this. After episode 3, it was assumed that Lilly leaves, and continues her story in the comics. But right after episode 3 was released, Kirkman wrote a sub-par novel of comic Lilly, thus voiding the two Lilly's non-canon. Telltale had to change a Steam achievement because of this.
The general consensus of the forums is that anyone can continue to believe that the game Lilly is still the one from the comics. It makes perfect sense in terms of her character arc.
You are right zeruis what happen in the comic was not happen in the game.
They complete 6 issues and said it the volume 1 but telltale complete the 6 issues and said it the walking dead season 1 game.what happen in the comic was not happen in the game but its like this that i tell u so their are 20 volumes and their will be 20 seasons of game but different from the comic
I'd think it was obvious the game was based off the comics. The style of the characters looks more like them than the TV show. When Glenn and Hershel appeared, they certainly didn't look like their TV counterparts.
Lily was intended to be the same Lily from the comics but was later retconned due to the books giving the comic Lily a backstory different from the game, if I recall. So only Glenn and Hershel are canon in both.
Look at the comics and game as side stories to one another. The comic is one parallel, the game another. They both occur but in different areas. It's like how things are going on where you are as well as on the opposite side of the world at the same time. This can also be seen like the spin off TV series that will air before long based on the show. The two run concurrently to each other and might have things that link them up, but they're separate stories about two separate groups of survivors.
People are always curious if there's more to the world of the Walking Dead beyond Rick's group. Telltale's game shows another group existing alongside Rick's. The spin-off TV show will soon do the same. I just wouldn't expect Rick to suddenly pop up in the game because it's canon with the comic. At most, a picture of him might pop up or the group ends up in his home town and happen upon the ruins of his home while looking for supplies. Perhaps what remains of the prison might pop up in the background of a scene or something.
If you're taking issue with them using the word episode rather than issue, it's a game and the format they're using is called episodic. Makes more sense for them to use episode rather than issue. Telltale's used episode for years and I don't see it changing. Since a group of episodes is called a season, makes no sense for Telltale to change that, either. Would you rather they use issue and book? That might put people off and think you read the entire time. It's marketing. The format is the way it is because that's what Telltale decided on.
Guardian titan it was not based on tv series like you say that use the word of episode rather than issue.
I mean The episode 1 of game was based on issue 1 not on tv series so their
will be 20 seasons of games
Both the game and the comic are happening in the same universe. While Lee's group is out doing their thing, Ricks group is somewhere else...
Time to throw a spanner in the works...
According to Kevin Bruner, co-head of Telltale, the games are no longer in canon with the comics. Sadly he hasn't elaborated on that since he said it, but I have no reason to doubt him on that.
So while the game was based on the comics, it doesn't technically take place within the same universe (much like how Ultimate Spider-Man isn't in the same universe as Superior Spider-Man, despite them both being based on the same story).
Yes you are right but the first episode of game was based on issue 1 .
What happen in the comic was not happen in the game
So telltale complete the first six episodes of game based on issue1-6 and said it the walking dead season 1 game but its different from the comic their are 20 volumes and their will be 20 seasons
No, you're making false assumptions.
The game was initially based on the universe the comics take place in. But as time went on the game told its own story and began to distance itself from the comics, to the point where they now no longer take place in the same continuity.
What you're saying is that Telltale directly based the game on an existing storyline from the comic, and that's not what's happened at all. Episode 5 of the game was NOT based on issue #5 of the comic, for example. You've said this before and it's simply not true.
Also, 20 seasons? I doubt we'll reach 5, let alone 20. VERY optimistic of you.
I am very confused they said it take place in the same world like comic if it is not based on comic why they said its based on comic u dont understand my point i mean the episode 1 of game was based on issue 1 and what happen in the issue 1 was not happened in the game
But it was just based
So what you said darth marsden
The game WAS based in the same world as the comics, but now it's not. That's why they said it was, and now we're saying it isn't.
And I understand what you meant now, but you saying Issue 1 of the comic or Episode 1 of the game is what's confusing ME.
The game, in its entirety, is based on the comic, in its entirety. Saying Episode 1 is based on Issue 1 isn't strictly true because saying that infers that you're talking about the individual story from each, and you're not.
You need to stop referring to individual episodes and issues when you're discussing how one is adapted from the other, because it's just going to confuse people (like me
).
Also, since this is all one conversation, I would ask you to 'Reply' to this comment instead of adding a new comment (the 'Add Comment button at the bottom of the page) as you've been doing thus far. It just keeps things a bit neater
So the episode 1 of game was not based on comic so how many seasons come out i mean their is 20 volume and in tv series they release the 4th season on going. Telltale complete the story of game themselves right and the tv series is based on comic right episode 1 on issue 1 right
The TV series is indeed based directly on the comic, yes, though there have been some rather major changes (Merle and Derle, for example, weren't in the comics at all).
The number of seasons/episodes/volumes is essentially irrelevant, since each story moves at a different pace. For example - just because the TV show is on its 4th series doesn't mean it's at the same place in the story as the comic was in its 4th volume.
It can get confusing if you're not paying attention.
This. When episode 3 was released the achievement i got was "Woodbury bound" its now "What now?"
What the fuck.

Even if the game was cannon to the Tv show itself don't expect a lot of appearences or mentions from there , Telltale likes to make their own story and characters expect the occasional cameo appearence ( Hershel, Glenn)
I posted about lover of walkingdead's idiotic thoughts few hours ago and now it seems gone. Guess some sissy reported me.
How sissy he is or she is. The more upper post has swear and i can't even say any swear? What a double stand mind asshole.
Oh, no offense, saltlick. I know you're not snitched, right? Im just saying.

How dumbass you are.
Your post was removed not because you swore, but because you flat-out insulted another user.
Rule #1 in the forum guidelines is RESPECT OTHER USERS. Please do so in future.
Oh i respect everyone except some fools who dosen't even have any admire someone's thought.
Look at him, he got your messages several times and said "so what you said~~" . I see how sarcastic he wanted to say and the swears thats what he get from me now. No offense to you, like i said, i respect everyone, except fools.
He posted that a month and a half ago. Why would you talk about it NOW?
Leave the past in the past and move on please.
The fool who calls fools fools is a fool of fools.
Says from other fool.
Im tend to say emotional when i see fools, which making me one of them but i don't care. You gotta go into the cave if you want to get cave wolves. Sorry to making discomfort anyway.
Okay, Confucius.
I think Telltale pissed Kirkman off by saying its the same Lilly, or Kirkman pissed Telltale off by choosing to make his own story for Lilly, But for a while yes it was the same Lilly.
